Simple

Why can't things ever be simple
Why are things always complex
And it's not even nature's doing
It's all created by us for no reason

You look at me obviously upset
And pour your heart out to me
About how you can't decide
Whether to do something or not

You can't stop gazing into my eyes
As you ask for my advice on it
And without a pause I tell you
Just what I think of the situation

I tell you it's so simple
All you do is look into your heart
And ask yourself if you like it
And if so then just do it

As I finish you give me a look
That seems like you're hurt
Even more than before
As you fight the tears

You tell me how you can't do that
Because what if you upset someone
So very calmly I tell you
Put your happiness before anything

You continue to go on and on
About the various consequences
Focusing on the what could
Instead of the what is

About your friends' opinions
About strangers' opinions
About your family's opinions
About my opinion

You care what everyone thinks
Except the most important person
You constantly forget about yourself
And how your opinion is most important

And I can't help but ask myself
Why can't things be simple
Why do we have to take simple
And mold it to complex
